I think Hancock had a few instances of that
Super hero movies should have more scenes of them accidentally maiming people just because of the sheer amount of power they weild.

Never got around to that one, worth it?

Critically planned, across the board, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. It could have done with another couple of rounds of script polishing.

It’s not a good movie but it’s a fun watch if you’re not expecting much.

It’s okay, not memorable though. I can’t seems to recall anything from that movie but i do remember i have fun watching it.

Have it on in the background.
I never fully understood Katherine Heigl’s character and her point in the plot.
It’s decent. Not great.

I wanted to like the movie, but drunk will smith just didn’t do it at all for me.

They cut all such scenes and pasted into The Boys, in a Mark Twain style “Sprinkle these around as you see fit!”.

Didn’t The Incredibles have a backstory like that where supes are basically illegal after they caused too much collateral damage?
gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 months ago
Mr. Incredible is sued for stopping a man’s suicide and injuring him instead.
In a Disney film.
This is explicitly stated, to the camera, within the first 5 minutes.
Holy shit Disney, you hadn’t “Up’d” us yet, chill

The first incredibles movie was made before Pixar was bought by Disney

Love this scene
WindyRebel@lemmy.world 7 months ago
It’s good, but upon re-watching it now from when I first watched it, and thinking a little differently about it - Superman talks about needing to be careful to not hurt people and cause deaths. Then he proceeds to put Darkseid through several buildings that obviously weren’t evacuated, followed by punching him so hard he goes through a couple layers of earth and totally destroys a bunch of infrastructure. He essentially shows his power and ignores everything he just said.

Perhaps they are going for a tone of heroic escapism, or fantastical drama over gory and downbeat “realism”.
If you really just want to see heroes maiming people it’s been done. Invincible, The Boys (show and comic). Even back to the 90s there were comics like Stormwatch that centered on the premise of “realistic” consequences of super powers.

The web serial Worm by Wildbow, written like 10-15 years ago maybe, is also a pretty good superhero deconstruction.

It always bugged me how in Man of Steel, Superman has to deal with the moral quandary of breaking the bad guy’s neck at the cost of vaporizing a family.
Like they spent the previous 20 minutes punching each other through buildings. No way that was the first family they killed.

Brightburn. I haven’t seen it (yet), but alternate universe where Superman becomes evil. Trailers showed him absolutely wrecking his classmates in anger and frustration.

While only a comic its a fantastic telling of a superhero going insane and the others trying to stop him. The Plutonian levels whole cities and kills millions in the first issue lol. It’s fucking wild.

Invincible covers this a lot.
It’s a major plot point in avengers as well, tbf, and why they spit up.
Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I loved the first season of invisible. The thought came to watching a gif of captain America splitting a log with he bare hands. Like there should be PPE for just being around super hero. He split that log with uncouth force to send a splinter strait through someone skull.

Exploring the failed attempts and the real struggles of being a hero.

I mean this is how Civil War and Age of Ultron comes about?
BossDj@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Misfits is not really what you’re asking for, but is a more light hearted a-typical superhero show about people who were sentenced to community service all accidentally gaining super powers. They mostly use their powers selfishly but not in evil ways. It’s pretty well done as far as character growth
ThePantser@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Watch The Boys for exactly that. You won’t get that from Disney.
slazer2au@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Also the Invincible animated series does it too.
kamenlady@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I totally agree with both your comments, but to be fair, they said “movies”.
ryathal@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
Maybe season 1 of the boys. It devolves into disgust porn in the later seasons.
BossDj@lemm.ee 7 months ago
I made it to the first episode of season 3. It was just trying way too hard at that point to not be a show anymore but pure shock value
